The Past Perfect Passive
14/23Recursos
Si aún no conoces tu nivel de inglés, ve a nuestro Test de Inglés de Platzi y conócelo en minutos. 🚀
Seguramente conoces el pasado perfecto del inglés donde pueden hablar de acciones pasadas que terminaron antes de otra acción. Puedes combinar este tiempo verbal junto con voz pasiva para hacer especial foco en el objeto, en lugar del sujeto.
Pasado perfecto pasivo del inglés
En las oraciones pasivas, el objeto precede el verbo de la acción, sin importar el sujeto que realiza la misma. Por otro lado, el pasado perfecto te permite hablar de acciones pasadas que ocurrieron antes de otro evento o acción, también del pasado.
Puedes combinar ambas estructuras gramaticales del inglés para crear oraciones que hablen de sucesos del pasado, donde el objeto es lo más importante.
Implementar dos fórmulas para utilizar este nuevo vocabulario:
- had + been + past participle
- had + gotten + past participle
Veamos algunos ejemplos:
| Pasado perfecto con voz activa | Pasado perfecto con voz pasiva |
|---|---|
| She had sent a report to them. | A report had been sent to the. |
| Jessica had received a federal grant for her nonprofit. | A federal grant had been received by Jessica for her nonprofit. |
| They hadn’t sent me my passport until it was too late. | My passport had not been sent to me until it was too late. |
| Miguel had rejected the request because it was way too vague. | The request had been rejected by Miguel because it was way too vague. |
Veamos una oración en pasado perfecto del roleplay: I had gotten so used to thouse pesky emails that I never even thought of the new possibilities. Es tu turno de practicar y transcribir esta oración a pasado perfecto pasivo.
El pasado perfecto pasivo es un tiempo verbal poco común. Si lo utilizas demasiado, suena bastante formal. En su lugar, puedes reemplazar “had been” por “was” y utilizar pasado simple. Veamos un ejemplo:
- A new printer had been delivered to the office.
- A new printer was delivered to the office.
Ambas oraciones son correctas. La segunda es más frecuentemente utilizada, incluso en contextos formales.
Combina estas dos estructuras del inglés para hablar con un vocabulario más avanzado y formal. Los tiempos perfectos son muy importantes y utilizados en el inglés, practicar y practicar es lo mejor para afianzar estos conocimientos.
